Hi eirik_1993,

You can use Templates for this.

How @Panagiotis?

Don't templates save the whole chart set up, and not just individual indicator settings?

So on one chart I have 5 indicators, and then load the BollingerBands. I put in settings 13 for period and 1 for std dev.

I save the template as "test template"

Now I have a second chart with 3 indicators already placed on it. When I go to add the Bollinger Bands, they'll still resort to the cTrader default of 20 and 2; where is there an option for me to load just bollinger bands with my values of 13 and 1 without loading the "test template" I just saved that has 5 other indicators on it?

I believe that's what @eirik_1993 is asking for. Even if he isn't, I'd like to know :-)

A platform that does it perfectly is Think Trader. For any indicator, you can save whatever settings you have specific to it as 'default', so whenever you add that indicator to any chart or template, it'll load that indicator with your defined 'default' settings instead of the ThinkTrader default.

So in this case I'd like cTrader to load my BollingerBands with my defaults instead of the built in 20/2 defaults.

Thank you.
